I'm struggling to understand if it's common or just my lack of luck, but a majority of the guys I've been meeting off OKC lie about their height. I don't list any requirements for matches on my profile and I truly don't care for height as long as the guy isn't shorter than me (I'm 5' 2"), so I'm starting to think guys just think I won't notice. But when I meet up with them and they're almost* eye level to me and they've listed their height as 5' 8", I just wonder how dumb they really think I am.
It's insanely frustrating, and not because I care about how tall they are, but because I feel like lying about height makes the guy questionable from the very beginning. It's a turn off.
Do you think my frustration is unreasonable? Should I ask them about it? I mean, I have looked at it from a different perspective, and I'm sure it feels as disappointing as if a woman were to lie about her weight/body type.

theyre listing their dick size
5'5 guy here
While I personally never would lie about my height as I'm fairly secure despite my manlet status, I can understand that there's a lot of anxiety and stigma attached to being short
A lot of guys think women do care
Some do, some don't
That being said I don't think there's anything wrong with being put off if the first thing a guy does is lie to you desu
>>18055346
Most short guys lie about height like most women use old pictures and angles to try to appear more desirable. Dating sites are self marketing and one wants to look like a hot commodity.
>>18055346
Why is a guys height such a big deal to women?
See now an overweight person is unhealthy and avoiding that makes sense.
As long as a dude was same or taller than you what's the big deal?
Better question is how do you do anything on OKC without spending money?
>>18055346
It's almost as frustrating as being a 5'10" guy on OKC with an incredibly huge penis and an expertise in lovemaking, with great conversational skills and a talent for cooking and treating women well. Let's face it, I'm a woman's wet dream, and yet I still can't get your fucking attention. WHAT THE HOLY FUCK DOES IT TAKE????
People are self conscious about their own faults and shortcomings, even if they aren't directly criticized for it.
In other news, water is wet.
>>18055346
People are ridiculously judgmental about height and have a very hard time actually measuring it by the eye test. According to the doctor, I'm 5'11, 6'0 in shoes. I'm going to believe my doctor. I've had girls insist I'm as short as 5'7 before, or girls say I'm 6'1, 6'2.
I don't know if this is what you have going on, but girls are so off-kilter due to being in heels and such, that they don't really realize how tall or short they are.
I'm not self-conscious about my height, but it's weird how some people don't understand it.
>>18055352
OP just said she doesn't care about height, just hates that the guys lied about it. Height seems to be an even bigger deal to guys.
>>18055360
what the fuck just stand next to a measuring rod and see by yourself how hard is that
To be honest not even sure what my height is. You could say i'm 5,9 to 6,1 and i'd believe you.
Most guys won't have measured themself.
>>18055465
Like I said, a doctor has done it. Nice and easy. But then you go out with chicks and they're like "I'm 5'9! All guys are short!"
They're just used to what it looks like in heels.
>>18055361
>Height seems to be an even bigger deal to guys.
Not really.
It's more due to the fact that women prefer guys over 6'0.
"I'm sure it feels as disappointing as if a woman were to lie about her weight/body type."
yes, because being disappointed about the way someone takes care of their body is entirely the same as being disappointed that someone lied about something they cannot change if they tried.
Men are very sensitive about height. If it isn't a deal breaker for you, just ignore it. It's something men can't change and it's something they know women judge them on.
It's the same as how women will choose photos where they have the best makeup or photos where they look thinner than they are.
>>18055346
dont know who you been talking to but guys dont lie about their height. its size of their dick...
>>18055487
I'm guessing you're a guy? Stop listening to the trolls on /fit/
>>18055352
Lol shift the blame.
>>18055501
I'm guessing you're a female? It's a well-known fact that women prefer guys over 6'0, just look at any dating site, you dumb cunt.
>>18055506
>Dating site
>>18055506
>he's getting upset because his binary interpretation of the world is being challenged
I guess all girls like 8" dicks too?
>>18055346
Girls have fake tits and use makup to hide their true apperance.
I think we are even.
>>18055355
It takes having fucking social skills.
You might think youre the shit, but you probably come off as desperate.
>>18055527
>>18055532
t. females
I'm going to remember this thread ever single time people tell me to stop worrying about my height.
Do bitches EVER tell the truth about how many dicks they've sucked? Quit expecting the truth about our own shit.
>>18055550
>>18055535
How does that even compare? As OP said the only relatable thing is weight
also
>t. manlets
>>18055557
>having silicon tits
>not fake
The male equvalent would be wearing shoes with really fat soles.
>>18055557
Or what about synthol abs?
>>18055564
You're an idiot. The OP is about people that are lying. The equivalent would be a fat girl describing herself as petite.
the amount of salty manlets in this very thread
>>18055578
Most lie about how many sexual partners they've had or how they would never have sex on the first date.
>>18055611
Thats why, in many surveys, it looks like men have sex with more partners on average than women. Of course that can't be true. Its just that the women consustently lie about their number of sexual partners when asked about it.
>>18055629
> it looks like men have sex with more partners on average than women. Of course that can't be true
How dumb can you be? There are two possible explanations:
Many men have sex with the same small amount of women
Men have sex with other men
>>18055611
So what? That's pretty frustrating too. If you try to turn this into a men vs women thing you're gonna be the one that loses out at the end of the day because you'll stay single.
>>18055545
I'm not a female, but it's pretty retarded that you're trying to tell people you think are females what it is that females like. Are you retarded?
>>18055346
No, as a guy I know it's a huge problem. Those guys are tremendously insecure, and total fucking idiots who don't realize how dumb lying about their height is. If you have that issue, so them and yourself a favor and just walk out.
